We are THRILLED to hang a variety of Gallery artists in the first floor dining rooms of the James Beard Foundation award-winning restaurant (celebrating it's 17th season, by the way, no small feat in the restaurant biz). We LOVE how the paintings, photograph, and works on paper compliment each other and the spaces of the historic building at 2 Main Street. We just can't gush enough, apparently!<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">The juror for the exhibition is John Lorence. Lorence attended Case Western, the Parsons School of Design, Cambridge School of Design and the Cranbrook Academy of Art where he earned his BFA and MFA. He has been the recipient of fellowships at YADDO, the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation, and the McDowell colony. He has exhibited both his paintings and sculpture extensively in solo and group exhibitions in Europe, the Middle East and the U.S as part of the Art-in Embassy program. Lorence’s professional interests include painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, art history, conservation and archeology as well as short films. He has taught at the Layton School of Art, Portland School of Art and the University of Wisconsin. He has had gallery representation in New York, Chicago, Milwaukee and recently exhibited at the Courthouse Gallery in Ellsworth. Lorence now lives in Newcastle, but did have a house and studio on Great Cranberry Isle for over 20 years where he was one of the island group’s 14 artists.</span></div>

Thank you so much to several entities for an especially delightful day yesterday in midcoast Maine.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://dandelionspringfarm.wordpress.com/farm-at-a-glance/">Dandelion Spring Farm/Straw Farm</a> in Newcastle. We've been buying produce, meat and eggs, and wool fleece from Beth for three years. At the weekly Rockland farmers market on Thursdays, She and her crew set up a tempting and bountiful stall, and it's become a must-do favorite. The farm(s) are situated on a rolling stretch of countryside, close to route 1 but enough away to be truly pastoral.<br />

Prior to this pastoral pleasure, I attended a talk by <a href="http://www.blackdinahchocolatiers.com/our-story/?gclid=Cj0KEQiAl5u2BRC6yszC1_75v5wBEiQAD-hdz-vfK7ti0rv1ge4f291I4IAqff7t2B4-CQ8LuEAS_lYaAqtA8P8HAQ">Black Dinah Chocolatier</a> founder Kate Shaffer at the Damariscotta Public Library. She is lovely! And, her words and tastes exquisite. Brought home a Valentine's gift box of heart shaped truffles for my own sweet Valentine, who ultimately agreed to share them. And popped into two art supply shops on Main Street: <a href="http://www.attic-heirlooms.com/">Attic Heirlooms</a> and <a href="http://www.abocabeads.com/">ABOCA Beads</a>. All in all, a very inspiring day.</div>

Down the Stairs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, the new WW Gallery is a two-story experience, linked by a magnificent Victorian staircase, complete with railings and posts that are of carved wood and quite simply, showstopping. With a little Murphy's Oil Soap, they easily glow with warmth and appeal. At least, that's what we're told by first-time visitors. So, know wonder we were inspired to "Deck the Hall (way)" with handmade fiber items of a petite scale (save for the "Andre the Giant" hand spun, hand dyed and hand knit mittens, that could easily sub for stockings at the fireplace mantel).</div>
